Ratafìà d’Abruzzo

The word Scuppoz in the dialect of Valle Castellana in Abruzzo was used to indicate the shot glass in the act of celebrating and toasting, then fell into disuse until the entrepreneur Benito Cicconi reused it as a name for his artisan liqueurs in the years’ 70. The Scuppoz company was officially born in 1982 in a small warehouse in Valle Castellana, where it was produced and sold in retail. Adriano, son of Benito, took the reins of the company in the wake of the development of the sector, began to produce Genziana and started a process of unstoppable growth. Today, together with his family, in the third generation, he continues the production of experimental liqueurs and infusions respecting and enhancing ancient artisan recipes. The Scuppoz company has become a large family in which each employee is an active part of a noble project that hands down the many facets of a region like Abruzzo.

Ratafià Scuppoz is a liqueur obtained by infusing real and genuine sour cherry juice from the Abruzzo hills with Montepulciano wine, with the addition of alcohol and sugars in smaller quantities. The sweet sensation on the palate is given by the red wine of a rather important gradation, while in the tail stands the acidity of the black cherry extract that expresses all the excellent organoleptic properties of the raw materials and the high quality standard. Ideal if accompanied with a dessert at the end of a meal.
